A variety of Massachusetts colleges and universities are undergoing major renovation projects. These include Bunker Hill Community College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and Endicott College.  

This spring, MIT will be putting up projects to add more on-campus housing and additional buildings for interdisciplinary programs, including music and other arts. UMass Chan Medical School, in Worcester, will be investing $325 million in a building that will significantly increase the capacity for education and research, including clinical-trial therapeutics and animal medicine. Endicott College, in Beverly, received a $20 million donation from the Cummings Foundation for a new Cummings School of Nursing and Health Sciences building. Bunker Hill Community College will be constructing its first new building in a decade, set to open in 2025.
